Abstract
Nanorotor R1 (420 kHz) was assembled from five components utilizing three orthogonal interactions. Post-modification at the distal position generated the advanced six component rotor R2 (45 kHz). The decrease in R2 speed leads to the inhibition of a three-component reaction by reducing catalyst release.

Abstract
The synthesis of signal-amplifying chemosensors induced by various triggers is a major challenge for multidisciplinary sciences. In this study, a signal-amplification system that was flexibly manipulated by a dynamic allosteric effector (trigger) was developed. Herein, the focus was on using the behavior of supramolecular polymerization to control the degree of polymerization by changing the concentration of a functional monomer. It was assumed that this control was facilitated by a gradually changing/dynamic allosteric effector. A curved-π buckybowl sumanene and a sumanene-based chemosensor (SC) were employed as the allosteric effector and the molecular binder, respectively. The hetero-supramolecular polymer, (SC·(sumanene)n), facilitated the manipulation of the degree of signal-amplification; this was accomplished by changing the sumanene monomer concentration, which resulted in up to a 62.5-fold amplification of a steroid. The current results and the concept proposed herein provide an alternate method to conventional chemosensors and signal-amplification systems.

Abstract
A dynamic silver(I)-loaded [2]rotaxane shuttle (k298 = 135 kHz) was converted allosterically into a conformationally restricted [2]rotaxane due to the creation of a bulky imine in the center of the axle component. Only the dynamic silver(I)-loaded [2]rotaxane was able to catalyze a 6-endo-cyclization reaction, whereas the static one was catalytically quiet. The mechanism of catalyst deactivation was elucidated.

Abstract
Signaling pathways allow cells to detect and respond to a wide variety of chemical (e.g. Ca2+ or chemokine proteins) and physical stimuli (e.g., sheer stress, light). Together, these pathways form an extensive communication network that regulates basic cell activities and coordinates the function of multiple cells or tissues. The process of cell signaling imposes many demands on the proteins that comprise these pathways, including the abilities to form active and inactive states, and to engage in multiple protein interactions. Furthermore, successful signaling often requires amplifying the signal, regulating or tuning the response to the signal, combining information sourced from multiple pathways, all while ensuring fidelity of the process. This sensitivity, adaptability, and tunability are possible, in part, due to the inclusion of intrinsically disordered regions in many proteins involved in cell signaling. The goal of this collection is to highlight the many roles of intrinsic disorder in cell signaling. Following an overview of resources that can be used to study intrinsically disordered proteins, this review highlights the critical role of intrinsically disordered proteins for signaling in widely diverse organisms (animals, plants, bacteria, fungi), in every category of cell signaling pathway (autocrine, juxtacrine, intracrine, paracrine, and endocrine) and at each stage (ligand, receptor, transducer, effector, terminator) in the cell signaling process. Thus, a cell signaling pathway cannot be fully described without understanding how intrinsically disordered protein regions contribute to its function. The ubiquitous presence of intrinsic disorder in different stages of diverse cell signaling pathways suggest that more mechanisms by which disorder modulates intra- and inter-cell signals remain to be discovered.

Abstract
How can single cells without nervous systems perform complex behaviours such as habituation, associative learning and decision making, which are considered the hallmark of animals with a brain? Are there molecular systems that underlie cognitive properties equivalent to those of the brain? This review follows the development of the idea of molecular brains from Darwin’s “root brain hypothesis”, through bacterial chemotaxis, to the recent discovery of neuron-like r-protein networks in the ribosome. By combining a structural biology view with a Bayesian brain approach, this review explores the evolutionary labyrinth of information processing systems across scales. Ribosomal protein networks open a window into what were probably the earliest signalling systems to emerge before the radiation of the three kingdoms. While ribosomal networks are characterised by long-lasting interactions between their protein nodes, cell signalling networks are essentially based on transient interactions. As a corollary, while signals propagated in persistent networks may be ephemeral, networks whose interactions are transient constrain signals diffusing into the cytoplasm to be durable in time, such as post-translational modifications of proteins or second messenger synthesis. The duration and nature of the signals, in turn, implies different mechanisms for the integration of multiple signals and decision making. Evolution then reinvented networks with persistent interactions with the development of nervous systems in metazoans. Ribosomal protein networks and simple nervous systems display architectural and functional analogies whose comparison could suggest scale invariance in information processing. At the molecular level, the significant complexification of eukaryotic ribosomal protein networks is associated with a burst in the acquisition of new conserved aromatic amino acids. Knowing that aromatic residues play a critical role in allosteric receptors and channels, this observation suggests a general role of π systems and their interactions with charged amino acids in multiple signal integration and information processing. We think that these findings may provide the molecular basis for designing future computers with organic processors.

Abstract
This paper reports a novel optical chemical sensing system for selective detection of diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), a simulant of fluorine-containing nerve agents (Sarin and Soman). Contrary to the reported methods involving only single sensing probe, this sensing system is comprised of two molecular sensing probes (1 and 2) having intrinsic affinities for reactive subunits of DFP (electrophilic phosphorus and fluoride ion). On exposure to DFP, two molecular probes react in tandem with electrophilic phosphorus and fluoride ion (by-product of the initial phosphorylation reaction) to induce a unique modulation in the optical properties of the sensing system which leads to selective detection of DFP in solution as interferents like phosphorus-containing compounds, acids, and anions were unable to induce similar optical modulation due to lack of both electrophilic phosphorus and fluorine in the same molecule. Calibration curve between the amount of DFP added and the absorption intensity revealed the colorimetric detection limit of the system to be 4.50 μM which was further lowered to 2.22 μM by making use of a self-immolative fluoride sensing probe 5.

Abstract
Strategies that speed up the on-command release of proteins (e.g., enzymes) from stimuli-responsive materials are intrinsically necessary for biosensing applications, such as point-of-care testing, as they will achieve fast readouts with catalytic signal-amplification. However, current systems are challenging to work with because they usually exhibit response times on the order of hours up to days. Herein, we report on the first effort to construct a fast-responding gating system using protein-encapsulating functional DNA superstructures (denoted as protein@3D DNA). Proteins were directly embedded into 3D DNA during the one-pot rolling circle amplification process. We found that the specific DNA-DNA interaction and aptamer-ligand interaction could act as general protocols to release the loaded proteins from 3D DNA. The resulting gating system exhibits fast release kinetics on the order of minutes. Taking advantage of this finding, we designed a simple paper device by employing protein@3D DNA for colorimetric detection of toxin B (Clostridium difficile marker). This device is capable of detecting 0.1 nM toxin B within 16 minutes.

Abstract
Selective detection of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) which are less charged molecules than adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or pyrophosphate (PPi) in aqueous solution has been considered challenging because AMP and ADP have relatively low binding affinity for phosphate receptors. In this study, colorimetric discrimination of nucleoside phosphates was achieved based on catalytic signal amplification through the activation of artificial peroxidase. This method showed high selectivity for AMP and ADP over ATP and PPi, unlike previous phosphate sensors that use Zn2+-dipicolylamine-based receptors. High selectivity of the suggested method allowed discrimination of AMP in aqueous solution by the naked eye, and the detection limit was estimated to be 0.5 μM. Mechanism analysis revealed AMP acted as activators in the peroxidation cycle of the Mn2(bpmp)/ABTS/H2O2 system despite having relatively low binding affinity. Additionally, high selectivity and quantitative signal amplification allowed for the development of colorimetric phosphodiesterase and a small molecule kinase assay method. The newly proposed method offers direct, real-time, and quantitative analysis of enzyme activities and inhibition, and is expected to be further applied to high-throughput screening of inhibitors.

The development of signal amplification systems has attracted much attention and presents a highly challenging objective. Herein, we reveal the amplification processes using a newly synthesized bisthiourea-binaphthyl-polythiophene conjugate. The spectral data, behavior of supramolecular complexation, and thermodynamic parameters with calculation support comprehensively elucidated the factors that control the outcomes of the signal amplification. The present work provides a new perspective on functional chemosensors and an attractive alternative to conventional amplification systems.

Abstract
Chemical warfare agents such as sarin are highly toxic, and detection of even trace levels is important. Using a hydrogel film containing a built-in two-dimensional chemical potential gradient, we demonstrate the detection of a sarin simulant under conditions potentially as low as a level 1 (6.90 × 10-9 mg/cm3 for 10 min) Acute Exposure Guideline Level sarin exposure. Specifically, the sarin simulant diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) is aerosol-deposited on a hydrogel film containing a built-in ionic chemical gradient and the enzyme, diisopropyl fluorophosphatase (DFPase). DFPase degrades the DFP, releasing fluoride ions. The fluoride ions are then concentrated by the gradient to a miniature electrochemical sensor embedded in the hydrogel providing a 30-fold amplification of the fluoride ion signal, which is an indication of exposure to DFP, relative to a gradient-free system. This method is general for agents which hydrolyze into chemically detectable ionic species.

Abstract
Self-propagating cascade reactions are a recent development for chemo-sensing protocols. These cascade reactions, in principle, offer low limits of detection by virtue of exponential signal amplification, and are initiated by a specific, pre-planned molecular detection event. This combination of selectivity for a detection event followed by in situ signal amplification is achieved by exploitation of mechanistic organic chemistry, and thus has resulted in various chemo-sensing protocols that employ one or more reagents to achieve the desired selectivity and sensitivity for an assay. Species such as hydrogen peroxide, thiols, and fluoride, have been used as active reagents to initiate the first examples of self-propagating signal amplification reactions, although many other active reagents should be compatible with the approaches. A common feature of the reagents that support the self-propagating signal amplification reactions is the involvement of quinonemethide intermediates resulting from elimination of optical reporters and/or active reagents, where the latter propagates the signal amplification reaction. The early examples of these amplification sequences, however, are slow to reach full signal, thus leaving time for background reactions to generate non-specific signals. This issue of background has limited practical applications of these self-propagating signal amplification reactions, as has challenging synthetic routes to the reagents, as well as the potential for other chemical species to interfere with the detection and signal amplification processes. Thus, the goal of this review is to summarize the progress of self-propagating signal amplification technology, identify the pitfalls of current designs, and by doing so, to stimulate future studies in this growing and promising research area.

Abstract
We report the fabrication of an amperometric NADH biosensor system that employs an allosterically modulated bacterial reductase in an adapted osmium(III)-complex-modified redox polymer film for analyte quantification. Chains of complexed Os(III) centers along matrix polymer strings make electrical connection between the immobilized redox protein and a graphite electrode disc, transducing enzymatic oxidation of NADH into a biosensor current. Sustainable anodic signaling required (1) a redox polymer with a formal potential that matched the redox switch of the embedded reductase and avoided interfering redox interactions and (2) formation of a cross-linked enzyme/polymer film for stable biocatalyst entrapment. The activity of the chosen reductase is enhanced upon binding of an effector, i.e. p-hydroxy-phenylacetic acid ( p-HPA), allowing the acceleration of the substrate conversion rate on the sensor surface by in situ addition or preincubation with p-HPA. Acceleration of NADH oxidation amplified the response of the biosensor, with a 1.5-fold increase in the sensitivity of analyte detection, compared to operation without the allosteric modulator. Repetitive quantitative testing of solutions of known NADH concentration verified the performance in terms of reliability and analyte recovery. We herewith established the use of allosteric enzyme modulation and redox polymer-based enzyme electrode wiring for substrate biosensing, a concept that may be applicable to other allosteric enzymes.

Abstract
Synergism is a significant phenomenon present in snake venoms that may be an evolving strategy to potentiate toxicities. Synergism exists between different toxins or toxin complexes in various snake venoms, with phospholipaseA2s (PLA2s) (toxins or subunits) the main enablers. The predominant toxins, snake venom PLA2s, metalloproteases (SVMPs), serine proteases (SVSPs) and three-finger toxins (3FTxs), play essential roles in synergistic processes. The hypothetical mechanisms of synergistic effect can be generalized under the effects of amplification and chaperoning. The Toxicity Score is among the few quantitative methods to assess synergism. Selection of toxins involved in synergistically enhanced toxicity as the targets are important for development of novel antivenoms or inhibitors.

Abstract
Diagnostic assays that incorporate a signal amplification mechanism permit the detection of analytes with enhanced selectivity. Herein, we report a gold nanoparticle-based chemical system able to differentiate ATP from ADP by means of catalytic signal amplification. The discrimination between ATP and ADP is of relevance for the development of universal assays for the detection of enzymes which consume ATP. For example, protein kinases are a class of enzymes critical for the regulation of cellular functions, and act to modulate the activity of other proteins by transphosphorylation, transferring a phosphate group from ATP to give ADP as a byproduct. The system described here exploits the ability of cooperative catalytic head groups on gold nanoparticles to very efficiently catalyze chromogenic reactions such as the transphosphorylation of 2-hydroxypropyl-4-nitrophenyl phosphate (HPNPP). A series of chromogenic substrates have been synthesized and evaluated by means of Michaelis-Menten kinetics (compounds 2, 4-6). 2-Hydroxypropyl-(3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitro)phenyl phosphate (5) was found to display higher reactivity (kcat) and higher binding affinity (KM) when compared to HPNPP. This higher binding affinity allows phosphate 5 to compete with ATP and ADP to different extents for binding on the monolayer surface, thus enabling a catalytically amplified signal only when ATP is absent. Overall, this represents a viable new approach for monitoring the conversion of ATP into ADP with high sensitivity.

Abstract
A new autoinductive cascade employing benzoyl fluoride as a latent source of fluoride is reported for signal amplification and optical detection of fluoride. The autoinduction leads to a maximum 4-fold signal enhancement for each fluoride generated, as well as a self-propagating cycle that generates three fluorophores for each single fluoride released. A two-step integrated protocol creates a more rapid autoinductive cascade than previously reported, as well as a highly sensitive diagnostic assay for the ultratrace quantitation of a phosphoryl fluoride nerve agent surrogate.

Abstract
Upon stimuli-triggered single cleavage of capping moieties at the focal point and chain terminal, self-immolative dendrimers (SIDs) and linear self-immolative polymers (l-SIPs) undergo spontaneous domino-like radial fragmentation and cascade head-to-tail depolymerization, respectively. The nature of response selectivity and signal amplification has rendered them a unique type of stimuli-responsive materials. Moreover, novel design principles are required for further advancement in the field of self-immolative polymers (SIPs). Herein, we report the facile fabrication of water-dispersible SIPs with a new chain topology, hyperbranched self-immolative polymers (hSIPs), by utilizing one-pot AB2 polycondensation methodology and sequential postfunctionalization. The modular engineering of three categories of branching scaffolds, three types of stimuli-cleavable capping moieties at the focal point, and seven different types of peripheral functional groups and polymeric building blocks affords both structurally and functionally diverse hSIPs with chemically tunable amplified-release features. On the basis of the hSIP platform, we explored myriad functions including visible light-triggered intracellular release of peripheral conjugated drugs in a targeted and spatiotemporally controlled fashion, intracellular delivery and cytoplasmic reductive milieu-triggered plasmid DNA release via on/off multivalency switching, mitochondria-targeted fluorescent sensing of H2O2 with a detection limit down to ∼20 nM, and colorimetric H2O2 assay via triggered dispersion of gold nanoparticle aggregates. To further demonstrate the potency and generality of the hSIP platform, we further configure it into biosensor design for the ultrasensitive detection of pathologically relevant antigens (e.g., human carcinoembryonic antigen) by integrating with enzyme-mediated cycle amplification with positive feedback and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Abstract
The bioinspired design and synthesis of building blocks and their assemblies by the supramolecular approach has ever fascinated scientists to utilize such artificial systems for numerous purposes. Flexibility is a basic feature of natural systems. However, in artificial systems this is difficult to control, especially if there is no preorganization of the component(s) of a system. We have designed and synthesized a series of C3 -symmetric N-bridged flexible receptors and successfully utilized them to selectively entrap the notorious and toxic nitrate anion in aqueous medium. This was the first report of highest binding affinity for the nitrate anion in aqueous medium. An impressive self-sorting phenomenon of reversibly formed hydrogen-bonded capsules, which self-assembled from flexible tripodal receptors having branches of similar size and bearing the same amide functionality, has been disclosed. Encapsulated nitrate anion has been further utilized for the photochemical [2+2] cycloaddition reaction for the synthesis of strained four-membered ring structures through dynamic self-assembly. In this Personal Account, we summarize these results showing the utility of naturally inspired flexibility in artificial systems.

Abstract
An enzyme-triggered catalytic signal amplification cascade is described through the design of a novel enzyme substrate that selectively activates an organometallic transfer hydrogenation catalyst once triggered.
Signal transduction and signal amplification are both important mechanisms used within biological signalling pathways. Inspired by this process, we have developed a signal amplification methodology that utilises the selectivity and high activity of enzymes in combination with the robustness and generality of an organometallic catalyst, achieving a hybrid biological and synthetic catalyst cascade. A proligand enzyme substrate was designed to selectively self-immolate in the presence of the enzyme to release a ligand that can bind to a metal pre-catalyst and accelerate the rate of a transfer hydrogenation reaction. Enzyme-triggered catalytic signal amplification was then applied to a range of catalyst substrates demonstrating that signal amplification and signal transduction can both be achieved through this methodology.

Abstract
Enzyme-catalyzed signal amplification with an antibody-enzyme conjugate is commonly employed in many bioanalytical methods to increase assay sensitivity. However, covalent labeling of the enzyme to the antibody, laborious operating procedures, and extensive washing steps are necessary for protein recognition and signal amplification. Herein, we describe a novel label-free and washing-free enzyme-amplified protein detection method by using dual-functional synthetic molecules to impose steric effects upon protein binding. In our approach, protein recognition and signal amplification are modulated by a simple dual-functional synthetic probe which consists of a protein ligand and an inhibitor. In the absence of the target protein, the inhibitor from the dual-functional probe would inhibit the enzyme activity. In contrast, binding of the target protein to the ligand perturbs this enzyme-inhibitor affinity due to the generation of steric effects caused by the close proximity between the target protein and the enzyme, thereby activating the enzyme to initiate signal amplification. With this strategy, the fluorescence signal can be amplified to as high as 70-fold. The generality and versatility of this strategy are demonstrated by the rapid, selective, and sensitive detection of four different proteins, avidin, O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), SNAP-tag, and lactoferrin, with four different probes.

Abstract
The relative ease of predicting the secondary structure of nucleic acid sequences lends itself to the design of sequences to perform desired functions. Here, we combine the utility of nucleic acid aptamers with predictable control over the secondary structure to rationally design sequences with controlled affinity towards a target analyte when employed as the recognition element in an electrochemical sensor. Specifically, we present a method to modify an existing high-gain aptamer sequence to create sequences that, when employed in an electrochemical, aptamer-based sensor, exhibit reduced affinity towards a small molecule analyte tobramycin. Sensors fabricated with the high-gain parent sequence saturate at concentrations much below the therapeutic window for tobramycin (7–18 µM). Accordingly, the rationale behind modifying this high-gain sequence to reduce binding affinity was to tune sensor performance for optimal sensitivity in the therapeutic window. Using secondary structure predictions and analysis of the NMR structure of an aminoglycoside RNA aptamer bound to tobramycin, we are able to successfully modify the aptamer sequence to tune the dissociation constants of electrochemical aptamer-based sensors between 0.17 and 3 µM. The guidelines we present represent a general strategy to lessening binding affinity of sensors employing aptamer-modified electrodes.

Abstract
Proton relay plays an important role in many biocatalytic pathways. In order to mimic such processes in the context of molecular switches, we developed coordination-coupled deprotonation (CCD) driven signaling and signal enhancement sequences. This was accomplished by using the zinc(ii)-initiated CCD of a hydrazone switch to instigate an acid catalyzed imine bond hydrolysis that separates a quencher from a fluorophore thus leading to emission amplification. Because CCD is a reversible process, we were able to show that the catalysis can be regulated and turned "on" and "off" using a metalation/demetalation cycle.

Abstract
Linking cell signaling events to the fundamental physicochemical basis of the conformational behavior of single molecules and ultimately to cellular function is a key challenge facing the life sciences. Here we outline the emerging principles of allosteric interactions in cell signaling, with emphasis on the following points. (1) Allosteric efficacy is not a function of the chemical composition of the allosteric pocket but reflects the extent of the population shift between the inactive and active states. That is, the allosteric effect is determined by the extent of preferred binding, not by the overall binding affinity. (2) Coupling between the allosteric and active sites does not decide the allosteric effect; however, it does define the propagation pathways, the allosteric binding sites, and key on-path residues. (3) Atoms of allosteric effectors can act as "driver" or "anchor" and create attractive "pulling" or repulsive "pushing" interactions. Deciphering, quantifying, and integrating the multiple co-occurring events present daunting challenges to our scientific community.

Abstract
Allosteric synthetic receptors are difficult to access by design. Herein we report a dynamic combinatorial strategy towards such systems based on the simultaneous use of two different templates. Through a process of simultaneous casting (the assembly of a library member around a template) and molding (the assembly of a library member inside the binding pocket of a template), a Russian-doll-like termolecular complex was obtained with remarkable selectivity. Analysis of the stepwise formation of the complex indicates that binding of the two partners by the central macrocycle exhibits significant positive cooperativity. Such allosteric systems represent hubs that may have considerable potential in systems chemistry.

Abstract
In biology enzyme concentrations are continuously regulated, yet for synthetic catalytic systems such regulatory mechanisms are underdeveloped. We now report how a substrate of a chemical reaction induces the formation of its own catalyst from a dynamic molecular network. After complete conversion of the substrate, the network disassembles the catalyst. These results open up new opportunities for controlling catalysis in synthetic chemical systems.

Abstract
A new β-cyclodextrin-based receptor that showed allosteric binding behavior towards capsaicin in aqueous solution was prepared. By NMR titration and nonlinear regression, we obtained binding constants, which increased more than fivefold when an effector (Zn(2+)) was bound to a central 2,2'-bipyridine that acts as the allosteric center.

Abstract
Catalytically amplified sensors link an allosteric analyte binding site with a reactive site to catalytically convert substrate into colored or fluorescent product that can be easily measured. Such an arrangement greatly improves a sensor’s detection limit as illustrated by successful application of ELISA-based approaches. The ability to engineer synthetic catalytic sites into non-enzymatic proteins expands the repertoire of analytes as well as readout reactions. Here we review recent examples of small molecule sensors based on allosterically controlled enzymes and organometallic catalysts. The focus of this paper is on biocompatible, switchable enzymes regulated by small molecules to track analytes both in vivo and in the environment.
